have SO earnestly desired the success of
this undertaking and you were pleased
thus to express your appreciation of my
efforts. But l cannot myself feel salts
fled until in this public way l make
acknowledgment of the uniform, un-
faltering and generous support that has
been given by the members of this
Association. l express but a simple
truth when I say that the success thus
far attained, is due more to the cheer
full devotion of its members, and o.
some who have given it their time and
influence from its very organization.

myself that we were very much en-
couraged by the hearty appreciation
manifested at our late entertainment
and we are determined to make more
earnest efforts than we have yet made

of our friends.

ABOUT OUR POPULATIoN.-Here is a
point for you, if you have any doubt as to
the number of inhabitants of Henderson:
The registered vote of the town is Gil. The
proportion of population is put down
at six to one. This would give us a popu-
lation of 1866 inside the corporate limits.
There must be at least 4 900 souls who be-
long to the town, counting those who live
on the suburban outskirts as we'll as those
who come within the bounds of the corpo-
ration

WANDERERS RETURN.-Several persons
who left here to seek fortunes elsewhere,
have recently returned, our good friend
Wilmot Wood, being the last of the prodi-
gals to come back. There is no place
like home," and as live, go-ahead, pro-
gressive town to do business i'll. one whose
''boom" is solid-certainly there is none
like Henderson. And this fact Mr.. Wood
now fully realizes. For some time he has
been doing business in Warrenton, but hav
ing sold his stock of jewelry there he re-
turned to Henderson and bought out the
Golden Belt Jewelry Store, and is again
smiling upon his old friends and customers
at his former place of business. Mr.. Wood
has nice stock of everything in his line
and will make it to the interest of those
who deal with him.

tobacco and cigarettes we have reason to
believe would pay we'll here. When we'll

DEATH OF THos. A. STONE.-Mr. Thos.
A Stone died at his home in this place at
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. He had been
sick for several weeks, his immediate
trouble being softening Of the brain. Mr..
Stone received a severe wound in the head
during the war, which doubtless fastened
his death, as he carried the bullet through
life. In the death of Thomas A. Stone
Henderson loses good citizen. He was a
man of large heart, and his generous traits
while they perhaps did not outshine his
faults, nevertheless outweighed them.
Deceased would have been 80 years of age
in July. A wife and six children survive
him. The funeral took place from the
Methodist Protestant church at 5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, Rev. J. D. Arnold
conducting the services assisted by Rev. S.

plenty material for the purpose, and some
as good as could be put into an organiza-
ton of the kind anywhere in the State. AS
we understand it only a certain number of
companies are equipped by the State and
that number is now nearly made up, so un-
less we act now we may not be able to get
up a company here under as favorable con
ditions in year or two, unless some com
pany should disband. Now what say oul
citizens? Let's have military company

community will need this thing.
